John, I agree that more recent versions should be included as well as mention of WFS and "web map context" support. However, to be conforming I *believe* we have to put the server through a not-too-cheap conformance testing process. I am not sure anyone is prepared to pay for that though one of the government clients who feel strongly about OGC conformance might step up to pay for conformance testing. I thought Steve or UMN was now responsible for registering MapServer with the OGC products list?

I'm running mapserver 4.0, gd 2.0.12, PDFlib Lite 5.0.1. I have a map that composites several images, then draws roads on top. It works great when I render to PNG, but if I render to PDF the raster data spills all over the page. Watching acroread display the file, as it displays each raster layer the image is intact but all of the page outside the image bounding box gets colored with some color from the image, overwriting previous raster layers. If I add the formatoption OUTPUT_TYPE=RASTER, then I get mostly what I want except that places that are transparent (i.e. it falls on an offsite pixel for all of the raster layers) end up red rather than white. This can be circumvented by placing a small all-white image at the lowest layer, with no offsite value. Of course, setting OUTPUT_TYPE=RASTER defeats much of the purpose of rendering to PDF anyway, so this is not really a solution. Any ideas? Any other details I should post? thanks, rusty From scottf@secr.com Wed Oct 1 21:12:18 2003 From: scottf@secr.com (Scott Ferguson) Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2003 15:12:18 -0500 Subject: [Mapserver-users] new user Message-ID: <4F03BF4B4F2AD311919B00A0C9A7A1918D38BC@64.19.25.70.nw.nuvox.net> Hi - just found out about Mapserver.

I believe that my problem is similar to the problem that Yu Hsin had before (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/data2/wilma/mapserver-users/0202/msg00317. html through http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/data2/wilma/mapserver-users/0202/msg00333.h tml). I am able to connect to OracleSpatial using SQLPLUS or when I start up Mapserv form the DOS prompt using the QUERY_STRING command with the same arguments as the ones used in the CGI environment. I am also able to generate an image from the Oracle Spatial layers using the map file and shp2img from the prompt. However, when I try to connect to Oracle Spatial using the CGI I am receiving the following errors: msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'weg'. msOCIConnect() in msOracleSpatialLayerOpen(): OracleSpatial error. I saw a lot of solutions mentioning setting some environment var's within Apache. I am working on a WinXP platform and I am using IIS as webserver. Oracle and the Oracle Spatial database is stored locally. It may be a stupid question, but it seems that if I am using IIS, there is no need for me to get access through Apache? All the CGI processes run under IIS. If so, then I should add somewhere the path or the reference to the tnsnames.ora I guess, but where? I would appreciate it if you could help sort this mess out.

Then do, "./configure --with-gd --with-proj --with-freetype " Now, Additional libraries such as jpeg library, Libtiff, Postgis, Libcurl for WMS etc., can be added., and then their respective --with- Can be added to "./configure" step Then after you sucessfully generate a makefile using this step., (the makefile will be in the same path where configure is), do "make" More help should be available in Mapserver Wiki Cheers, Gayathri -----Original Message----- From: Scott Ferguson [mailto:scottf@secr.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 4:57 PM To: 'Swaminathan, Gayathri' Subject: RE: [Mapserver-users] new user ok, the with GD compile was successful, but the with proj was not.

I'm a GIS user, specifically with ESRI and MapInfo products and have used ArcIMS a little. Someone pointed me to MapServer because it willl use shapefiles natively to create maps and it's free. I downloaded version 3.5 and installed it using the instructions. Everything seems to be working so far. I've tested the CGI executable using the instructions: http://localhost/scripts/mapserv.exe (localhost is not actually my machine name) and get this message: No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING not set. I also downloaded the Tutorial and have come across an error message that does not make sense to me. I am going through the 1st example of section 1 of the tutorial. I use this URL to retrieve a map image: http://tmcneil1/Scripts/mapserv.exe?map=e:/projects/tutorial35/s1/s1ex1.map& amp;mode=map , and the resulting error message is: mapserv(): Web application error. No template provided. I'm not sure what's going on or if I am just plain missing something. I have read that there are three files that I don't have, the application initialization html file (demo_init.html), the map file (demo.map), and the main html template file (demo.html).

Edit the file ld.so.conf and add the line /usr/lib Then restart your server or run '/sbin/ldconfig' 2. Run the command '/sbin/ldconfig /usr/local' (Both as 'root') If you choose way 2 please remember, that you'll have to give this command every time you restart your server.

"gid" may be pulled by default by the postgis driver I'm not sure. If you want "value" then you'll probably have to add it to the DATA statement.

I did not have so much trouble getting Oracle 9i installed (I think). The main features are running, so I think I can skip the first part of your mail. The part about MapServer. I guess this was before MapServer published a precompiled Win32 executable on their website (v4.0 with Oracle support), or does the situation that you describe still exists? I will look into the thing about the SQLNET_AUTHENTICATION. Although I am not sure if this still exists in Oracle 9i. The structure that you describe for the mapfile I implemented already, with the only difference that the geometry column that you describe (geom etc.) seems to have changed. Also I am not sure yet what to do with the srid number. It seems that most of the "peculiarities" that you describe about Oracle Spatial have changed with the new version. I will post results if I have found something. Thanks for now, Menno. -----Original Message----- From: Flavio Hendry [mailto:flavio@tydac.ch] Sent: 02 October 2003 18:10 To: mschepel@gis.nl Subject: Fwd: Oracle 8.1.7 & MapServer HowTo XP/2000 Hi Menno Maybe the below helps (see especially MapServer Part, Item 2) ===8<==============Original message text=============== Hi List First many thanks to Assefa, Daniel and ... Google ... Daniel Morisette told me to report the way to get the monster running with XP/2000 and MapServer. No guarantee whatsoever that your computer won't explode .... ;-) ... The Oracle part: A: You will not be able to install Oracle on a PC under Win 2000 or Win XP - just won't do anything - known bug, do as follows: ******* 1 - Copy your Oracle CD into hard disk in your machine. For example Copy from oracle8i CD into "C:\tmp\orainst" ... (on some sites I found not to call this dir "oracle") 2 - Search the two files named Symcjit.dll in the dir where you have copied Oracle8i. You can found them in (example): C:\tmp\orainst\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.30\1 \DataFiles\Expanded\jre\win32\bin\symcjit.dll or use search option in the c:\oracle directory to find 2 files symcjit.dll to 3 - Rename this file (Example): symcjit_back.dll (make sure to find two files and rename them) 4 - Execute the Oracle setup.exe from C:\Oracle\setup.exe and follow the instructions ... B: on Win XP, when rebooting you might get the constantly showing up ugly error that java.exe crashed. To stop that go into the win admin toool / services and stop the "Oracle HTTPServer" Service and set it to manual. ********* The MapServer Part: 1. Download and install MapServer Oracle Compilation from DM Solutions (I don't know it DM leaves the files there however, worst case contact me ...): mapserver/php_mapscript (php4.3.2) build with Oracle oci librairies (8.1.7) at http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/tmp/mapserver_ora8.1.7.zip The zip contains the exe file of mapserver, php_mapscript_40.dll and oci.dll. Note that php_mapscript_40.dll is build with links to other libraries like xerces, pdf, .... So you need to download those dll and install them. The best approch is to download and install first the zip at http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/mapserver-4.0-win32-php4.3.2.zip and then replace the exe and the php_mapscript_40.dll with the new ones. 2. there will be an additional thing to fix in oracle: ****** Obviously this is a well know feature (bug). After a successfull installation of Oracle 8.1.7 you have to change SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICE=(NTS) to SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICE=() in sqlnet.ora (search for this file in the dir where you installed Oracle). ******* 3. Map-File, looks i.e. like that: LAYER CONNECTION "chur/chur@demo" CONNECTIONTYPE oraclespatial DATA "geoloc from Bodenbedeckung using srid 262148" GROUP "AV" NAME "Bodenbedeckung" SIZEUNITS PIXELS STATUS ON TOLERANCE 0 TOLERANCEUNITS PIXELS TYPE POLYGON UNITS METERS CLASSITEM "ART" CLASS NAME "Gebaeude" EXPRESSION "Gebaeude" COLOR 255 255 220 OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0 TEMPLATE ttt.htm END END Some things to be explained: - chur/chur@demo are userid/password@service - "geoloc" is the Geometry column Oracle uses (sometimes GEOM or whatever ...) - the srid number you'll find in the table called SDO_GEOM_METADAT_TABLE or in any Table under the register called "Spatial". Hope it helps if somebody has to go through the same nightmare ...

The gdal configure was ./configure --with-xerces after running configure/make/make install on xercesc ... which puts it in /usr/local/ The build on this version of xercesc is slightly different from the current build instructions on the apache web site because they changed the directory structure slightly, but I think it was only one directory different then everything else worked the same as the current build instructions (too bad they don't include the build instructions with the tarball!)

I don't believe Mapserver is capable of reading the extents from a raster layer ( see http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/wms-server-howto.htm ) : Note: wms_extent MUST be provided for raster layers in the current version since MapServer probing rasters for their extents is on the TODO list! I wonder if Mapserver has to reprocess the PNG to create a PDF output, and in so doing loses the EXTENTS for your output.

You can pull SFSQL features from PostGIS (postgis.refractions.net) and OracleSpatial. You can also pull pseudo geometric data from MySQL 3.6 using BLOBs to store your data. PostGIS and Oracle both have spatial indexes, so they can scale to very large data sets. The 3.6 MySQL hack does not. P.

Yes, you might want to visit the Wiki for details ( http:// mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?MySQL ) From morissette@dmsolutions.ca Fri Oct 3 15:11:29 2003 From: morissette@dmsolutions.ca (Daniel Morissette) Date: Fri, 03 Oct 2003 10:11:29 -0400 Subject: [Mapserver-users] Re: [Fwd: Fwd: PHPMapscript] In-Reply-To: <3F7D73D4.9000008@dmsolutions.ca> References: <3F7D73D4.9000008@dmsolutions.ca> Message-ID: <3F7D8391.90708@dmsolutions.ca> (I've CC'd this to the mapserver-users list since this question comes up often there.) Hi Steve, This is a known issue which has been in PHP for a while. If you configure PHP as a CGI as the documentation says then it shouldn't affect you. (This happens only if your PHP is configured as an Apache module which is not supported for MapScript version 4.0 anyway) We also have our own bug on this: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=252 As you can see when you read the bug, the problem is not directly related to MapScript even though it affects it. Unfortunately the PHP guys probably won't recognize the issue until we show them the faulty code. I've been through that before with other PHP bugs and the only way to get the bug fixed has been to submit a patch, very frustrating! Of course sniper@php.net is right in his comment saying that the mapscript module was written for PHP3 and then ported to PHP4, but even if it was rewritten today using only PHP4 stuff the issue would remain since it is in PHP and not in MapScript. So where does that take you? We blame PHP and they blame us and you're stuck in the middle. Well for the time being you should configure your PHP as a CGI as suggested in http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PHPMapScript and the issue will go away. Also, I've been working on removing that PHP CGI limitation for version 4.1 and one of the issues I need to resolve is this regex issue. I have a few ideas on how we can resolve this... just need time to work on this now.

Hi,

I have set MapServer 4.0 up with the demo, I have used OGR to load a
POLYGON type layer from a tab, but cannot get it to work with LINE or
POINT.

This is a sample of the layer in my map file:

# This works
LAYER
NAME Counties_region
TYPE POLYGON
STATUS DEFAULT
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "data/Counties.TAB"
STYLEITEM "AUTO"
CLASS
NAME "Counties"
END
PROJECTION
"AUTO"
END
END # Layer

# This doesn't work
LAYER
NAME Motorways
TYPE LINE
STATUS DEFAULT
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "data/Motorways.TAB"
STYLEITEM "AUTO"
CLASS
NAME "Motorways"
END
PROJECTION
"AUTO"
END
END # Layer

I hope someone can explain what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance

Phil Maskell
